Serve This Delicious Stuffed Venison Loin for Thanksgiving

If you’ve been fortunate enough to kill a couple of deer this season and have a backstrap or two in mind for Thanksgiving, then you must consider doing this outstanding recipe that will knock your family’s socks off.

Stacy Harris, author of several fantastic cookbooks and owner of Gameandgarden.com, has one of the best recipes for venison that you may run across. This superb Thanksgiving Fare, Stuffed Venison Loin is highlighted on her site along with some cool information from a pilgrim’s report from what may well be the first autumn harvest of thanksgiving.

In a letter from one of the pilgrims to a friend in England in Mourt’s Relation, the author relates the following of the harvest and festivities with the Native Americans:

Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after have a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors; they four in one day killed as much fowl, as with a little help beside, served the company almost a week, at which time amongst other recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest King Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on our governor, and upon the captain, and others. And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty.
